Hi, I found some bottlenecks in my R code with Rprof. First I wanted to rewrite them in C, but a colleague keeps suggesting that I learn Fortran, so maybe this is the time to do it...
I like to learn new languages and do it fairly quickly. I would appreciate the advice of others about these questions: 1) I hear bad things about Fortran. Sure, F77 looks archaic, but F90/95 seems nicer. Is it worth learning, especially when I plan to use it mainly from R? Dusting off my C knowledge would take a bit of time too, and I never liked C that much. 2) Does it interface well with R? Is F90/95 supported, or only F77? Thanks, Tamas ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
